Mati Klarwein’s fabulous LP cover art for Miles Davis’ 1970 masterwork “Bitches Brew”.

Happy 93rd Birthday to the mighty Yoko Ono.

Was this remix done on the sly during a Chili Peppers recording session? All signs point to yes...

Rick Rubin and Dave Navarro being involved in a 1994 recording together made me think there might have been a Chili Peppers connection; it was around the time of One Hot Minute's recording, right?
Well, the remix was engineered by David Sardy & David Schiffman. Guess who engineered One Hot Minute?

It's quite a different sounding version of the song and features Dave Navarro on guitar. Trent Reznor has always said he adores this version of the song and even played this version live a number of times (including the tour NIN is currently on).

Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)
YouTube video by Nine Inch Nails - Topic Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)

Something I've been thinking about for a while but finally took the time to delve into it.

Rick Rubin remixed a Nine Inch Nails song in 1994, "Piggy," which was released on various promo singles and eventually the deluxe edition of The Downward Spiral.

Nice to see Anthony take a trip down memory lane like this. Some interesting factoids. More please!

Exciting! Hopefully there’s some footage or photos in there we haven’t seen before. And I pray they get some crucial details right…

Say what you will about Tony K's singing, but tone deaf he ain't, and Michael Beinhorn should really know the difference.

At least the accompanying press tour will be (hopefully) enlightening.

HONORA by Flea coming 27 March.

Another collab with Thom Yorke, and my (distant) cousin Nick Cave on the Witchita Lineman cover!

Pretty quiet year for the band. Just one show and nothing really of note archive-wise. Hopefully 2026 is a bit more exciting! At least two solo albums for sure, and maybe word of a new album by the end of the year? We shall see….

In Tune In I quoted a 1960 Paul McCartney letter declaring that the Beatals (yes) had ‘competence, confidence & continuity’ … and just today I’ve found that Paul nicked it from a Midland Bank cheque book, Competence–Continuity–Confidence being printed on the inside back cover. Great nicking, Paul!

Here's a newly shared glimpse of the original flyer from 16/12/82 from Gary Allen, who was the main driving force of the band playing together for the first time. Also shared in full in my book!
